WETUMPKA -- An Eclectic teen facing murder charges in the Sunday afternoon shooting death of his father now faces murder charges in the death of his mother. As a result, Jesse Madison Holton's bond was increased for the third time this week. Holton is now being held under bonds totaling $1 million after Friday morning's bond hearing.

Holton, 17, is the son of Mike Holton and April Holton, Sheriff Bill Franklin said. Mike Holton, a former mayor of Eclectic, died at the scene, the family’s home in the 2000 block of Lindsey Road, Franklin said. April Holton died from her wounds in a Montgomery hospital Monday afternoon, Franklin said.

Jesse Madison Holton is being charged as an adult.

Mike and April Holton, both 37, each appear to have been shot in the head, Franklin said. Deputies recovered a 9 mm. semi-automatic handgun in the master bedroom of the home where it is believed Mike and April Holton were shot, he said.

Jesse Holton, could not be reached for comment. Courthouse records show he doesn’t have an attorney. Franklin said he is a senior at Elmore County High School.

Jesse Holton allegedly shot both his parents after the sheriff’s office was called to the home about 4 p.m. Sunday following a party at the residence, Franklin said. The parents had been out of town the night before. The house was “trashed” after the party and evidence was collected of drug use at the party, Franklin said.

At first Jesse Holton told investigators his parents got into an argument after the deputy left the house on the call about the party. He told authorities that Mike Holton shot April Holton in the head in the master bedroom then turned the gun on himself. Franklin said forensic evidence about the angles of the wounds and the entry and exit points of the wounds contradicted Jesses Holton’s version of the story.

Jesse Holton has expressed “absolutely” no emotion or remorse following the incident.

“We are dealing with young man with a history of emotional trouble,” Franklin said, Monday afternoon after he announced the murder charge in Mike Holton’s death. “He did ask one time how his mother was, but that was it. He never asked about the condition of his father. You talk to him and it’s just blank. He expresses nothing in his demeanor or conversations that shows he feels he is at all responsible for any of this.

“He told us he takes prescription sleep medicine. And he admits to marijuana use. Basically he told our investigators that as long as he smokes dope and takes his pills every day he’s fine.”

Holton's bond was initially $150,000 for one murder charge. That was increased to $500,000 Tuesday before the second murder charge, after which the bond was increased again to $650,000 before being raised to $1 million Friday morning by Elmore District Judge Glenn Goggans.
